works?

the lure of evil, so that
sin may have no

Where the Monday or
Tuesday after Pentecost
are days on which the
faithful are obliged or
accustomed to attend
Mass, the Mass of
Pentecost Sunday may
be repeated, or a Mass
of the Holy Spirit, pp.
7318-7347, may be said.
ORDINARY TIME
3090
ON SUNDAYS
1. Ordinary
Time
contains thirty-three or
thirty-four weeks. It
begins on the Monday
following the Sunday
after January 6 and
continues
until
the
beginning of Lent; it
begins again on the
Monday after Pentecost
Sunday and ends on
3091
the Saturday before the
First Sunday of Advent.
2. The numbering of
Sundays and weeks in
Ordinary
Time
is
calculated as follows:
a) The Sunday on
which the Feast of the
Baptism of the Lord
occurs takes the place
of the first Sunday in
Ordinary
Time;
the
AND WEEKDAYS
3092
ON SUNDAYS
week that follows is
counted as the first
week in Ordinary Time.
The remaining Sundays
and
weeks
are
numbered in order until
the beginning of Lent.
b) If there are thirtyfour weeks in Ordinary
Time, after Pentecost
the series is resumed
with the week that
3093
follows immediately the
last week celebrated
before Lent; it should
be noted, however, that
the
Masses
of
Pentecost Sunday and
of the Solemnity of the
Most Holy Trinity take
the place of the Sunday
Masses. If, however,
there are thirty-three
weeks
in
Ordinary
AND WEEKDAYS
3094
ON SUNDAYS
Time, the first week that
would otherwise follow
Pentecost is omitted.
3. Thus, in the Missal,
thirty-four Masses for
the
Sundays
and
weekdays in Ordinary
Time are found. They
are used in this way:
a) On Sundays the
Mass corresponding to
the number of the
3095
Sunday in Ordinary
Time is ordinarily used,
unless there occurs a
Solemnity or a Feast of
the Lord which takes
the
place
of
the
Sunday.
b)
On
weekdays,
however, any of the
thirty-four Masses may
be used, provided the
pastoral needs of the
AND WEEKDAYS
3096
ON SUNDAYS
faithful are taken into
consideration.
4. The Gloria in excelsis
(Glory to God in the
highest) and the Creed
are said on Sundays;
on weekdays, however,
both are omitted.
5. Unless a Eucharistic
Prayer is used that has
a proper Preface, on
Sundays one of the
3097
Prefaces for Sundays in
Ordinary Time is said,
pp. 3581-3625; but on
weekdays, a Common
Preface is said,
pp. 3698-3730.
6. Two antiphons are
provided
for
Communion, the first
from the Psalms, and
the second for the most
part from the Gospel.
AND WEEKDAYS
3098
ON SUNDAYS
One or the other may
be
selected,
as
circumstances suggest,
but preference should
be given to an antiphon
that is in harmony with
the Gospel of the Mass.

ON SUNDAYS
FIRST WEEK IN

On the first Sunday in
Ordinary Time there
occurs the Feast of the
Baptism of the Lord,
pp. 1778-1792.
